G7 Connect is Gantner's online platform that allows you to configure and manage all your G7 devices in one convenient location.
To add a GT7 Lite to a project in G7 Connect, the device must be paired with G7 Connect once. This process requires a pairing key, which is displayed on this page.
To open G7 Connect in your default web browser, click on the link: G7 Connect, and log in with your username and password.
